Brookfield Residential<\/a> is seeking zoning approval to add a second rental tower to a site in Toronto\u2019s Davisville Village, already home to a 29-storey apartment building. Designed by Core Architects<\/a>, the 37-storey tower would rise on the site\u2019s western portion, introducing market-rate rental units within walking distance of Davisville station. The infill proposal includes a public parkland dedication and a new pedestrian connection linking to Davisville Public School.\u00a0<\/p>\n Goldberg Group<\/a> has submitted a Zoning By-law Amendment application to the City of Toronto on behalf of the developer to permit a new 37-storey residential tower at 55 Davisville Avenue, about 190m east of Yonge Street, and in the Davisville Major Transit Station Area, within which the Province encourages high densities. A through lot between 55 and 77 Davisville Avenue, the property extends south to Balliol Street. The 29-storey rental building on the east side of the lot has 483 units. The surrounding area features a mix of mid- and high-rise apartment buildings.<\/p>\n A previous owner floated a two-tower concept of 12 and 49 storey in April, 2024. After Brookfield acquired the property in September, 2024, the plan was revised to a single building rising to 127.5m, with a shorter 4-storey base along Davisville Avenue.\u00a0<\/p>\n The proposal contains 400 market-rate rental units, adding to the 483 existing units on site for a total of 883 across both buildings. The total Gross Floor Area of the 7,610m\u00b2 site would reach 62,100m\u00b2, with 29,271m\u00b2 allocated to the new building, resulting in a Floor Space Index of 11.34 times coverage of the new parcel and 8.9 times overall. The building would be served by four elevators, equivalent to one elevator per 100 units, indicating adequate service at most times.<\/p>\n Amenity space would total 774m\u00b2 indoors and 733m\u00b2 outdoors. Indoor amenities are planned at grade and on the fifth floor, with the upper level connected to a rooftop outdoor terrace. The grade-level amenities would overlook the new mid-block pedestrian connection and a 406m\u00b2 public parkland dedication fronting Balliol Street.<\/p>\n A new three-level underground garage would be constructed beneath the tower, incorporated with the existing shared garage serving 77 and 99 Davisville. Of the 383 total parking spaces across the site, 61 would be allocated to 55 Davisville, including 53 resident spaces, 6 for visitors, and 2 at-grade pick-up\/drop-off spots. Bicycle infrastructure would include 360 long-term and 80 short-term spaces.\u00a0<\/p>\n The site is about 300m, or a five-minute walk, from Davisville station, while Davisville Avenue is also served by buses, with stops within a two-minute walk. Protected bicycle lanes on Yonge Street connect to the Beltline Trail. The upcoming Eglinton Line 5, about 1km north, will be a one-stop ride away on Yonge Line 1, or a 14-minute walk.<\/p>\n The proposal joins major intensification underway in the surrounding area. To the east, 141 Davisville<\/a> is proposed at 33 storeys, while a cluster of towers to the southeast includes proposals at 140 Merton<\/a> (29 storeys), 185 Balliol<\/a> (35 storeys), 155 Balliol<\/a> (37 storeys), 214 Merton<\/a> (40 storeys), and 170\u2013180 Merton<\/a> (45 storeys). West of the site, 30 Merton<\/a> is under construction at 37 storeys, with additional high-rise plans at 60 Balliol at 33 Davisville<\/a> (39 storeys), 22 Balliol<\/a> (40 storeys), 45 Balliol<\/a> (40 storeys), and 50 Merton<\/a> (46 storeys). Along Yonge Street, proposals include multi-tower projects at 1900 Yonge<\/a> (up to 45 storeys) and 1910 Yonge<\/a> (48 and 53 storeys).<\/p>\n UrbanToronto will continue to follow progress on this development, but in the meantime, you can learn more about it from our Database file, linked below.
